It is well known that Pang Yuan is good at government affairs but not military affairs. The Chongqing government appointed Pang Yuan as the director of this operation to actually drive a wedge between Pang Yuan and Xie Baoqing. Yan Xishan has long seen this, so in his heart This Shanxi-Hebei camp does not exist at all.
As for whether Chongqing's alienation plan can succeed, Yan Xishan doesn't care about it. What he cares about now is just what the hell does Xie Baoqing want to do? !
He is so capable of twisting and turning, he has made Taiyuan his, Yangquan has become his, and most of Shanxi has become his. This kid has completely deprived me, the king of Shanxi, of my own.
What else does he want to do?
He only has the strength of a group army, is it possible that he is still preparing to defeat Tianjin?
Yan Xishan now had six armies in his hands and did not dare to have this idea. He also wanted to regain the lost ground, but he was worried about losing troops and generals.
As a rich man who has to be careful about everything, it is not easy to save such a large family fortune, and it is inevitable to be indecisive.
Yan Xishan is very similar to Gao Kuirong in this regard. Gao Kuirong also saved up half his life to save such a large family fortune. In order to keep this family fortune, he even built the Gao family fence, but he still couldn't bear to eat or drink. What happened? In this way, it wasn't like the Japanese had turned them into nothing with a fire.
Of course, the land cannot be burned, but under the new land policy implemented in the liberated areas, all land is owned by the government. Farmers contract land from the government on a lease basis and pay rent to the government (no middlemen make the difference). This change allows Gao Kuirong, a wealthy local man, cried so hard that he wanted to go to his would-be son-in-law several times to ask for an explanation, but Gao Meijuan threatened to stop him every time.
As a result, Gao Meijuan could only stay in Dagu Town temporarily in order to prevent Gao Kuirong from causing trouble.
Let’s go back to Yan Xishan. Yan Xishan walked around the sand table for a day and was still puzzled.
But having said that, the strength gap between this group army and the group army is also huge.
Take the six group armies in the hands of Yan Xishan, for example. The six group armies include the Central Army, the Shanxi-Sui Army, and the Eighth Route Army. The strongest is naturally the Central Army, and the weakest is Yan Xishan's own Shanxi-Sui Army. .
Take Wei Lihuang's Fourteenth Group Army as an example. The Fourteenth Group Army was formerly the Fourth Division of the Jiangxi Army, and was later expanded to the Fourteenth Army of the National Revolutionary Army. After the establishment of the Fourteenth Group Army, its basic troops were still direct descendants of the Central Military Army. The Fourteenth Army, under the jurisdiction of the Tenth Division, the Eighty-third Division, and the Eighty-fifth Division, was later incorporated into the Ninth Army. In its heyday, the Fifteenth Army, the Seventeenth Army, and the Twenty-seventh Army also joined. After the battle order of the Fourteenth Group Army, the total strength once reached more than 40,000 people, and it was truly the ace among aces.
The Sixth Group Army, which was established based on Yan Xishan's Jinsui Army, is completely different from the Fourteenth Group Army, which is directly related to the Central Army. The Sixth Group Army has jurisdiction over the 62nd Army and the 83rd Army. At its peak, there were six divisions. strength, and most of these six divisions only bear the designation of one division, and some divisions even have only two or three thousand soldiers, not even as good as one of Li Yunlong's regiments.
However, when the rosters were compiled, each division had tens of thousands of people. The most exaggerated division even had more than 27,000 people on the roster, but in reality it only had three or four thousand people.
Why?
Eating free money.
If you write one more soldier's name on the roster, you can receive one more soldier's salary from the military committee. This extra military salary will naturally fall into the pockets of bureaucrats at all levels.
If such an army can win the battle, then it's a fucking ghost.
I say so much just to compare Yan Xishan's six armies with Xie Tian's one army.
Yan Xishan probably didn't understand. He didn't know that Xie Tian's group army had more than 60,000 people.
Yan Xishan's six group armies combined are equivalent to the number of Xie Tian's one group army, which is still slightly inferior, not to mention Xie Tian's aircraft brigade and tank division.
It is said that after Fu Zuoyi of the Seventh Group Army received the telegram from the Shanxi-Hebei camp, he immediately ordered Deputy Commander-in-Chief Liu Ruming to convene the commanders of the 13th, 17th, 35th, 61st, and 68th armies under his jurisdiction to hold a combat meeting. After a day of discussion, he formulated He came up with a battle plan to attack Datong and called back to the Shanxi-Hebei camp to report the battle plan.
After carefully studying Fu Zuoyi's combat plan, Xie Tian called back to adjust the combat plan, and bluntly stated that he would coordinate the 10th Theater Flying Group to provide air support for the Seventh Army's operation.
certainly. Xie Tian replied in the name of Pang Yuan. The Tenth War Zone had no affiliation with the Seventh Army, but the Shanxi-Hebei Camp was the superior of the Seventh Army.
Say something quietly, don't let Director Pang hear.
Isn't Pang Yuan, the director of the camp, a mascot? Isn't it Xie Tian who is really in charge of the military field of the Shanxi-Hebei camp?
After receiving Xie Tian's call back, Fu Zuoyi was overjoyed.
After fighting with the Japs for so many years, the most frustrating thing is the Japs’ air support and tanks and artillery. Now it’s better, we also have air support.
Fu Zuoyi knew that Xie Baoqing had several planes in his hands. Xie Baoqing was especially good at air combat. He also heard about the incident where Xie Baoqing hit Gangmura Neji with an empty pistol. Fu Zuoyi laughed so hard that he even set up a banquet for his capable men to celebrate together. , I squirted several times during the dinner, and even raised my glass to share a drink with Xie Tian (Xie Baoqing) from afar.
After the battle plan was revised, Fu Zuoyi called Xie Tian again to determine the time to launch the attack. At this time, Fu Zuoyi already knew that the person who exchanged telegrams with him was Xie Tian, but this was a layer of window paper. Just know it well and pierce it. Otherwise, there will be more troubles.
Fu Zuoyi had long wanted to fight the Japanese to the death, but unfortunately the Second Theater Command would only be passively beaten and had never formulated an active counterattack plan. This time, he could finally let go and fight the Japanese. It's a big fight.
Fu Zuoyi started to make preparations for the war. As a result, just one day before the battle he and Xie Tian agreed on, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Liu Ruming rushed to open the door of Fu Zuoyi's room with excitement on his face. He grabbed Fu Zuoyi and ran out the door: " Yisheng, come out with me quickly."
Fu Zuoyi was confused and was pulled out of the room by Liu Ruming. He was stunned when he just reached the door of the barracks.
There was a huge convoy of large trucks parked on the dirt road outside the barracks door. The end could not be seen at a glance. According to visual inspection, there must be at least hundreds of trucks.
An officer wearing a colorful camouflage uniform saw Liu Ruming pulling Fu Zuoyi out, stepped forward and stood at attention and saluted: "Reporting to the commander, I am Zhou Jian, the commander of the 41st Group Army's Baggage Regiment in the 10th Theater Command. I have been ordered by my superiors to transport the troops for your department." A batch of equipment and supplies, please sign for it, Chief."
Fu Zuoyi returned the gift and took the list of equipment and supplies handed over by Zhou Jian with both hands. His eyes lit up, and after a while, his eye circles turned red...
